Carmina - 15/6/2019

This was the second Carmina gig in a month or so - the first having been in our village hall and this one at the lovely Part Y Seal country house. The sets were fairly similar although this one a little shorter. I particularly enjoyed some of the covers ('Fragile' a Sting song, 'Into the Mystic, Van Morrison, 'Killing the Blues' Rowland Sally and particularly 'Heroes, David Bowie. This last song is done slow and moody and like all good cover versions it adds something to the song. Of their songs I particularly enjoyed 'Landmarks', the rousing and brilliant 'River of Love/Shenandoah' mash up, 'Twenty Three (in the morning) and 'Song for Pepper'. There was also a great intro from Geoff as a tribute to the recently deceased Dr John. 'This was a four-piece Carmina with Rob, Pippa, Paul and Geoff on Keyboards as the fourth member. It was nice to meet people we knew in the audience and also chat to the band who know us after Geoff stayed with us last time round.
